Therefore, the health care professional's ability to understand the patient's complaints and her sexual history is highly relevant in specialised multidisciplinary care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional survey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seventy\u2010seven participants were included. Body image, sexual function and sexual satisfaction were evaluated using the EORTC QLQ\u2010BR23 questionnaire. Results were shown as means, standard deviations, frequencies and percentages. Cronbach's alpha was calculated. Spearman's correlation test,\u00a0the chi\u2010square test and multivariate logistic regression were used in the statistical analysis, conducted using the <jats:sc>spss<\/jats:sc> statistical software package, version 17.0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Low scores were found in the desire (34\u00b763), frequency (32\u00b703) and sexual satisfaction (45\u00b791) domains, while body image scores were higher (63\u00b757). No strong correlation was found between body image and any of the other domains. Patients without a steady partner experienced more sexual desire (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b704) and more frequent sexual activity (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b701). Sexual activity was also more frequent (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b703) in women with a higher education level and in those using aromatase inhibitors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sexual function and satisfaction were affected to a greater extent than body image. No association was found between body image and sexual performance.
